In Uganda, parents infected with AIDS write Memory Books for their children - these are perhaps the most important documents of our time. Unless a decisive effort is undertaken to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, it is estimated that up to forty million children will have been orphaned by the disease by 2010. Uganda has proven to be the most successful country in Africa at fighting the spread of the disease, but it also has the most AIDS orphans in the world, a number currently put at two million. When their parents die, children are left to fend for themselves. And children who grow up being parents for one another begin their lives with no past and an uncertain future. For this reason, a very special project was created in Uganda: parents write Memory Books containing their family histories. This helps the children remember their parents, their traditions, and their values. The children are gently prepared for the fact that their parents are dying.
